Changes to slot and parking rules at Athens International Airport (LGAV) are set to impact business aircraft operators starting March 30. Flight support group Universal Weather and Aviation has warned operators to prepare their schedules around the new Greek requirements to avoid disruption through the summer months.

The airport is moving to level-two slot coordination that will result in “deviations” in requested arrival and departure times for last-minute slots, especially at peak morning and mid-afternoon times. Universal has advised that delays of an hour or more should be expected if slots and prior permission approvals are not secured in advance.
